New Year. New You!

2018 is well underway and you’ve probably made resolutions you’re keen to stick to. Hopefully, one of those is to maintain your well-being and fitness.

Regular exercise and a balanced diet can have enormous health benefits now and in the future. Being more physically active can be easy and inexpensive.
 
There are lots of ways you can fit more physical activity into your day:

• Walking: take a brisk walk for as long as you can.
• Dancing: turn up your favourite tunes and dance around your home!
• At work: If your'e in a sedentary job do some desk-based stretches and exercises or take a walk during your lunchbreak.
• Housework: turn chores into a workout by speeding them up or being more energetic.
• Gardening: It keeps you active and reduces stress levels.

 
If you can afford it and have the time, then why not join a regular class. That way you get to meet people too. Socialisation is also good for your health. There are many varied options – join a gym, a dance class (ceroc, ballroom, salsa, zumba etc), walking or hiking group, sports group (tennis, badminton, golf, table tennis etc), yoga, Pilates, swimming, aqua aerobics. The ideas are endless and could be a newfound hobby for 2018.

​Setting yourself some goals, making sure you've got the right kit and keeping a positive attitude are all key to maintaining your exercise routine.
